“At Home with Farm Aid” will livestream performances by Willie Nelson, Neil Young, Dave Matthews, and John Mellencamp on April 11 at 8pm ET. Hosted by Nelson and his sons, Lukas and Michah, the highly anticipated event air on AXS TV and on FarmAid.org.
“On the Farm Aid stage last September, my friend and fellow board member John Mellencamp said, ‘Be hopeful about, have faith in, and be grateful for right now; the miracle of life is in the dirt under our farmers’ fingernails,’” Nelson said in a statement. “He was right and I’m so grateful for the farmers, ranchers and farmworkers who are on the frontlines sustaining all our communities. Now, more than ever, stay strong and positive.”
Farm Aid was formed in 1985 by Nelson, Young, and Mellencamp to raise awareness and provide assistance for family farms. The nonprofit has since raised $57 million, with Dave Matthews joining the board of directors in 2001.
